Book excerpt: Every year a transformation occurs in the broadleaf forests of eastern Canada and the northeastern United States. It is known as the changing of the colors, and it is one of nature's most breathtaking spectacles. As the days begin to shorten and the nights become colder, the leaves of the deciduous broadleaf trees begin to lose their ability to produce the vital sugars that keep the tree nourished during spring and summer. The trees prepare to become dormant in advance of the long, cold winters. As the leaves begin to die, a physical change occurs in which the chemical composition of each leaf is altered. The end result is an incredible transformation of the leaf color from green to yellow, gold, orange or red, depending upon the particular species. And since the forests are a mix of species, the colors splash across the landscape in a patchwork quilt of daubs of brilliance. Whole hillsides or riverbanks begin to blaze in vivid warm tones, visually dazzling to the human eye. And it is this natural phenomenon that draws visitors from all over the world to bear witness. It begins in the northern reaches of the broadleaf forest where it mixes with the great boreal taiga whose coniferous trees do not shed their needles all at once. By mid-September the first tinges of color were always seen north of the St. Lawrence River in the Canadian Shield or at the higher elevations of the northern Appalachian Mountains of the New England states. Slowly as the calendar progresses, the color change works its way south or lower in elevation until by mid to late October the whole region would generally be ablaze. Like a real fire, the change engulfs every broadleaf tree, joining all their shades of color into a kaleidoscope of hues that brings out the cameras and paintbrushes. It is important to note that with warming temperatures brought about by climate change, there have been significant changes in the timing and intensity of the fall colors. What was noted above is no longer as reliable a guide to the changing of the colors. Much now depends upon how warm the daytime temperatures are in September and into early October. This will impact both the start of the fall color season and also the intensity of the actual color itself. In 2015, for example, the colors came about two weeks later than normal but were as intense and brilliant as those of us who have lived in these parts can remember. In 2017, exceptionally unseasonable temperatures persisted into early October. Thus the fall color season came late and in many areas it was nowhere near as vibrant as expected, nor did it last as long. Yet in many localized pockets the color was brilliant and even lasted until early November. Once it was so reliable that you could book a tour or cruise in late September or early October and virtually be assured of a dynamic color change. In 2020 and 2021 the fall colors were quite brilliant and lasted well into the early part of November.

Book excerpt: This is a totally new and revised book that takes you on a virtual tour of the major and minor ports of call in Eastern Canada and New England during the fall colour season. Of all the cruises in North America, this is the most sought after because of the drama and beauty of the changing colours. However, in recent years with the climates of the world showing a warming trend, it is becoming harder to predict the specific time for peak fall colour. This book explores every aspect of what it means to take a cruise through the St. Lawrence River, the Atlantic Provinces and the coast of New England. The author's many years of experience in the cruise industry combined with his knowledge and love of this part of the world makes this an unrivaled guide. Unlike the large mass-market guides, this one is tailored to what you need to know when spending one day or just a few hours in port while on a cruise through the area. Tips on what to see, where to dine and shop will help you maximize your cruise experience.

This book was released on 2019-04-26 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every year a transformation occurs in the broadleaf forests of eastern Canada and the northeastern United States. It is known as the changing of the colors, and it is one of nature's most breathtaking spectacles. Going back as far as colonial times, locals would ride their carriages or wagons into the countryside and often picnic or camp out just to witness this spectacle, many spending the weekend in communion with nature. By the late 19th century, railroads began to offer special excursions that brought visitors from even greater distances. Country inns that used to cater to spring and summer visitors from the cities began to remain open past the Labor/Labour Day weekend to accommodate those who were now coming to enjoy the fall foliage. Visitors were dubbed "leaf peepers" by locals and this term is still widely used today. The idea of fall cruising the St. Lawrence River, around the shores of the Canadian Atlantic provinces and the New England shores came later, and today this is one of the most in demand itineraries with most major cruise lines participating. What easier way to see the cavalcade of brilliant colors without the need to be driving hundreds of miles, staying in numerous hotels or country inns than to do it on board a luxury cruise ship. As more people are introduced to the comfort and convenience of cruising, it has become one of the most sought after means for viewing the changing colors of eastern Canada and New England. Again there is one limitation to a fall cruise to see the colors as opposed to motoring. This two volume set is designed to give you the best information possible to help you plan what to see, where to dine and how to maximize your onshore time at each of the ports of call in Eastern Canada and New England during the magnificent fall season. This is not a mass market book, but one designed to bring you the very best of what awaits you on shore. This is Volume 2, which brings you the New England ports of call.

Download or read book A Colourful Guide to Cruising Eastern Canada and New England written by Lew Deitch and published by . This book was released on 2017-12-10 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new and expanded edition replaces the earlier version of my book on cruising Eastern Canada and New England. In addition to being issued in full colour, it is also filled with much more detailed information regarding each port, and of course loads of great pictures. The text and photos are identical to the black and white version already on Amazon for purchase, but it has the advantage of all the maps and photos being in colour. Unfortunately colour printing does mean a higher production and retail cost, but I know many of you appreciate the impact of such an edition. Eastern Canada and New England are so absolutely breathtaking during the few weeks in late September or October when the trees turn brilliant shades of red, orange, gold and yellow. It is a season to be enjoyed. When you cruise through the St. Lawrence River, the Saguenay River and then along the Atlantic coast of Canada and New England, you do not get an in depth chance to linger in any one area, but you do get the sweeping panorama of so many ports of call, each one different from the last. It is a great way to soak up the beauty that this season has to offer. And this book will serve as an in depth guide without providing too much detail such as the regional guides that are more oriented toward people traveling by car, train or air. This book is concise and will point you in the right direction to make sure your visit is memorable.
Download or read book Fall Cruising in Eastern Canada and New England written by Lew Deitch and published by . This book was released on 2017-05-04 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edition is a duplicate of my paperback with the title "Fall Cruising in Eastern Canada and New England 2016-17." However, this edition has been produced in full color, as twol reviewers have commented that they would have liked to have seen the book in color. And I have been contacted by numerous fellow travelers with the same comment. These books are printed one at a time as ordered, and thus the full color cost is quite significant. But it should be worthwhile, as the autumn landscapes of Eastern Canada and New England are so majestic and inspirational that once you make the journey you want to return. In this book I have documented all of the major ports between Montreal and New York. The various ship itineraries vary, but I believe I have covered almost all possible ports of call. There is a full description of each port with recommendations as to what you should see, where to dine and shop in those ports that offer worthwhile experiences. The book begins by discussing the landscape, presenting a brief historic sketch and a cultural and political comparison of Canada and the United States. For those travelers going to Canada for the first time and with the assumption it is just like the United States, this book will surprise you. I am a dual Canadian-American and a student of Canadian history and government, and I have made it a point in this book to dispel that notion. For those readers living in the United States, this is an easy cruise to embark upon. For those who come from across the sea, it may be a once in a lifetime cruise, but one you will remember forever.
Download or read book FALL CRUISING in EASTERN CANADA and NEW ENGLAND written by Lew Deitch and published by . This book was released on 2017-01-30 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is nothing more majestic than to witness the annual spectacle of the changing of fall colours. When the sugar maples turn flame red and are accompanied by so many other trees turning yellow, orange or crimson, the landscape takes on a glow that is beyond breathtaking. Fall is often a time of year in Eastern Canada and New England when the sky tends to be deep azure, as the sun still shines bright, but its warmth begins to ebb. What better time than to board a cruise ship and sail from one port to the next while viewing this ongoing spectacle. I always recommend the later cruises from mid October until the end of the fall season, which is around the start of November. As the global climate changes, colours now come later, but they will often stay into early November unless a quick gale or snowstorm finishes the season with a sudden bang. The ports of call exude either the New England charm in places like Boston, Portland or Bar Harbor while the Canadian ports offer that gentile flavor that is so characteristic of Canada. Visiting historic Halifax, the Victorian charm of Charlottetown or the Old World French speaking cities of Qu�bec, you will be delighted with Canadian hospitality along with incredibly delicious cuisine.This book provides initially provides you with some geographic and historic background for both Eastern Canada and New England. There are also chapters that illustrate how the lifestyles and governments of the two neighbouring countries differ. And alas there is a chapter on each of the ports that are visited by cruise ships at this time of year. Most cruises last for a period of from ten to 14-days, so no single cruise can visit all the possibilities. There are recommendations as to the major sights in each port along with dining and shopping tips, all based upon my personal experience as one who simply adores this part of both countries, especially in the autumn. Bon Voyage - let's go cruising.
